Publisher Description
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Far more than a superb memoir about the highest levels of professional tennis, Open is the engrossing story of a remarkable life. • "Agassi’s memoir is just as entrancing as his tennis game.” —Time
“Honest in a way that such books seldom are.” —The New York Times
Andre Agassi had his life mapped out for him before he left the crib. Groomed to be a tennis champion by his moody and demanding father, by the age of twenty-two Agassi had won the first of his eight grand slams and achieved wealth, celebrity, and the game’s highest honors. But as he reveals in this searching autobiography, off the court he was often unhappy and confused, unfulfilled by his great achievements in a sport he had come to resent.
Agassi writes candidly about his early success and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, his marriage to Brooke Shields, his growing interest in philanthropy, and—described in haunting, point-by-point detail—the highs and lows of his celebrated career.
Customer Reviews
Moving. Revealing. Sincere.
Great book written by one of the greatest tennis players in history. Fascinating autobiography that reveals the true life and feelings of an admirable prodigy, tennis star, husband, father and foremost human being.
Unbelievably Good
This is without a doubt the best autobiography I've ever read (and I've read a lot of them). I've always rooted for Andre the tennis player, but Andre the person is even better. Thanks, Andre
A candid life story
Better than a front row seat at Wimbledon. Andre lays it all out and shares his thoughts throughout his early childhood, tennis career, and his two marriages. Now that the book has been out for many years and you can see the love and support Andre has for his own children without any intense demands and expectations. A good read and despite all the ups and downs he ended up grounded in a great relationship. There’s hope for all of us.
